Mike Dean left out by Premier League amid Anthony Taylor and VAR Chelsea vs Tottenham criticism

Mike Dean has not been allocated a VAR game for any game week 3 Premier League fixture following Chelsea vs Tottenham controversy but the same cannot be said for Anthony Taylor.

The pair had come under severe criticism for their decisions on Kai Havertz, Marc Cucurella and Richarlison respectively. Three decisions that went against Chelsea and resulted in the Lilywhites being able to commit and snatch and grab type of draw from Stamford Bridge. It wasn't just the decisions on the pitch that were the main talking points though of the pair, which drew criticism from a couple of their former refereeing colleagues.

The Richarlison and Havertz call led to the first bust-up on the sidelines between Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel's anger spilt over too into the post-match press conference where he made comments about both their roles in determining the outcome of the result.
